A WARM WINTER WALKING-JACKET.
skin, which they say are already selling
well. These garments are worn under
the dress bodice, and ON a slender figure
lend a round and charming effect. Be-
especially recommended for decOllete
cOrsages. The fur is dyed any color,
and the waist Is fitted to the figure, lac
ing in front. A real SealSkin underwaiSt
costs from $40 to 800.
NOVEL BALL DRESS.
A ball dress which was made recently
by Worth and sent over for Mrs. Thur
low Weed Barnes. who was Miss Belle
Morris. merits description as being eX-
tremely novel yet beautiful. The fOun-
dation of the skirt is a pale silver bro
cade, Speckled with clusters of white
moss rOsebuds. This is made into a
full, round dancing skirt, and is COW
cred with three skirts of lilac tulle,
each outer one lighter than the other.
A decollete bodice of deep lilac velvet
has girdle of silver passing about the
waist, and balls of real solid silver at
tached to a long silver cord which
reaches to the edge of the dress. On
the left shoulder is cluster of yioletS
which extends across to the right side
of the belt and down on the skirt until
it is lost in the folds of the tulle.
HINTS ABOUT HATS.
Some of the new walking-hatS are not
at all becoming in shape, but are so per-
fectly trimmed that many wear them.
One of these is turban shape, rolled
deeply on both sides and cut low in the
center. This is trimmed with soft rib
bonS in shaded tints and curving
plumes and makes very pretty hat to
look at. 1t is most becoming to full,
oval face and low couture.
For bridesmaids are shown some ey-
quisite little white hats called the Bebe.
They are intended to wear at winter
wedding, are all of swansdOwn, with
broad white ribbons tying under the
chin. Some of them have clusters of
pale pink rosebuds on one side, and all
are the shape of an inverted shallow
teacup. They make bewitching little
sleighing caps, and no doubt will be
worn as such. With these go muff-like
bags of the same white down, which are
to be carried filled with flowers.

A pretty little watch case is made out

A stocking bag will make nice gift

be made out of chintz or any bright

hundreds. They are crying out for a
change. Nobody is able to invent any
thing to fill its place and also fulfill
ones social obligations. Early hours
are another of the reforms by which
even the gayest set would willingly
abide if only somebody with prominence
enough would take the stand. Host
esses are tired of being obliged to wait
for their invited guests until ten and
often half past it. AS rule they go to
sleep meanwhile, and it is trying to
ones temper to have to wake up at that
seasonable hour when their neighbOrS
are going to bed.
"a keen little lady, who usually tells
the signs of the times pretty well, in
sistS that this is to be high-neck win
ter. The social statutes in London eS-
tablish the line at which ones gown
must be cut, and no lady dares to pre-
sent herself at court unless this rule
has been strictly followed. 1t follows
that whatever the fair mistress of the
White house OrdainS should and will
receive as wide significance. She ad-
ministered gentle but wholesome re-
buke to the wearers of the extraordinary
low-cut gowns here by having her own
cut modestly and becOmingly. 1t is also
quite in keeping with the views of the
best and most aristocratic designers or
creators of feminine fashions, but who
have found their tase laid aside to graf
ify their customers desires for the
species of unwOmanly and unwhOleSome
notoriety. Mrs. Cleveland being on
the side of this very important
reform, it is fair to presume
that her example and encouragement
will go further than any other force at
the present hour. On the whole, while
with the exceptions named there are not
many radical changes talked about, it is
safe to presume that this is not the year
to start the ticket system to keep unin-
vited folks from the parties. In political
life those WHO are entertaining are doing
it for purpose, and it will not make
much difference if stray goat here and
there runs in with the sheep. 1t is
pretty well understood that the few who
entertain so literally are painful thorns
in the flesh of many others, who want
to do something for themselves, but
hate the dreadful contrast. One of the
more prominent biaAers for the Repub
lican presidential nomination is engi-
neering quietly among the dinner-givers,
not to offer more than three brands of
champagne at one feast. What success
he is having has not yet transpired.

THE WORK BASKET.
Simple Christmas Gifts That Lit
tie Hands Nav Make.


1t is not too early to begin work on
Christmas presents, especially if there
are many to be made by hand. The
shops offer many novelties that can be
bought cheaper than made. yet there
are any number of pretty things which
cannot be bought, and others which are
far daintier and of more value when
made by loving hands. Here are few
directions for simple and inexpensive
gifts, which can be easily made by little
hands and fingers.
A shoe bag. clothes bag and a brush
and comb holder will be found valuable
for one who has small bedroom. To
make the set, purchase two yards and a
half of some pretty chintZ that will
match the furniture of the room. That
made to resemble Vatican tapestry and
depicting ladies and gentlemen in fan
tastic costume, or blue OF crimson or
brown ground is very ornamental of
itself.
To make the clothes bag. take one
yard, sew it up neatly and put braid
the top. This should be hund in the
clothes closet or behind the bed head
and used for soiled clothing. The shoe
bag Is triie more intricate. Take
pastebOard box cover about half yard
long and as wide and cover this
neatly with chintz, bordering
it with braid and leaving too
little loops at the top by which it may
be hung up. Take piece of the goods.

it at the ends and in the center to form
two pockets. This should be fastened

There are any number of processes of
Wine-making, and as many methods of
pressing the fruit as there are owners
of vineyards; but almost every peasant
has his little vineyard, and much of the
wine is made in their own cellars. Here
they return to first principles, the men
treading the wine press and stained
from head to foot with the red LIQUID.
There they use the latest inventions for
winemaking. The great watts, holding

me. but spry as monkeys. Thus is per-
formed the yearly cleaning of casks
preparatory to the incoming wine.
The man overlooking the cleaning of
casks is also the owner Of the great
press back of the shed. In wonderful
hieroglyphicS he inScribes in an impor-
tant-lOOking book the names Of villagers
who drop in from time to time to hire
the use of his press. These peasants
are not regular vineyard owners, but
what are known in the patoiS of the
country as ''crOcOns," sort OF cleaner,
who, for the price of few sous to the
owner, gather what grapes remain after
his harvest is finished. Going from
vineyard to vineyard, they collect sur
priSing quantity of fruit, which each
presses in turn for two francs, at
specified hour and day, as inscribed in
the important document before men
stoned. The press is an awkward-lOOk-
ing affair, consisting of an immense
wheel turned by four men and attached
by ropes to the wooden screw beyond.
This moves a heavy block of wood,
which, descending on the platform be-
low, presses the fruit from which the
Juice runs off into a basket sieve hang
ing underneath, and from there down
into the barrel placed to receive
it. The floor. the paved court,
the casks and ''hOtteS'' are
tn same purple hue, and the villagers
carrying bags upon their heads, passing
to and fro, depositing their fruit in watts
beyond, are ringed, streaked and
speckled with it. In one corner of the
court may be seen the furnace where
the fruit is boiled, and the distilling
machine for making 'eau de vie."

The winter on the eve of a preside initial
nomination is always a gay one: so it is
pretty well defined that the coming one
must be success. Next month will
witness an extraordinary activity in
home hunting. There are not many

Northern ladies who intend setting up
their household gods here this winter
come for no other purpose. All these
are delicious bits of intelligence for that
large and ever increasing class of in

of Argenteuil, the spot nearest Paris

charming qualities to the gathering and

of the grapes, the manipulation of the
wine, and the festivities connected with
a successful vintage.
